INFLUENTIAL EARLY SCHOLARSHIP ON POST-DIGITAL NEWS AND POLITICS

But since I was way early -- started graduate school on 9/11 to study post-digital American politics & journalism -- Most of my early work uses comedy to explain it.

And the only prof who
put their money where their mouth/phd is
,
and become an "echo chamber diversity hire" at a Bible college

to prove my IP could
train MAGA-adjacent Evangelical kids to get conservatives, liberals, Christians, Muslisms, and Jewish-folks to fight together for a just, free, and sane digital world.

It worked.
